Boris Continuum Complete 8 AVX for Avid DS New Feature Highlights

BCC Videoscope
checks color levels at any stage of an Avid DS project, identifying and logging illegal colors. This tool ensures broadcast-legal colors of the final output or any individual element of a project.

Beat Reactor Technology
is now built into many BCC AVX filters, making it easy to generate audio-driven effects such as a pulsing light, a glow, or even an image wipe that follows along with the beat of an audio track.

BCC Extruded Text
is an OpenGL-accelerated 3D text generator with built-in 3D shatters and a warp deformer. Multiple 3D materials can be created from external image files featuring texture and bump maps as well as reflections. Each material can be individually saved as a preset and applied to the front, back, bevel, or extrusion surface of the text object. The text object can be further deformed and animated with a number of innovative deformers such as Bend, Taper, Twist, Shatter, Ripple, Pulse, or Curl.

32-Bit Float Precision Color Rendering
is now supported, offering even smoother blurs, glows, and other effects while providing the highest quality final image.
